Simple but very interesting game: Create stories using no more than 6 words. See below for examples.

Here are some I made to get the ball rolling:

Landlord found child porn.  Evicted immediately!

The great wish- Peace?  Too impossible.

One-legged, blind male seeking...nevermind.

The dying heart: eleven beats left.

Drowning pool- lifeless, bloated, limp terror.

"Marry me!"  "But I'm male."  "Damn!"

No memory. New day. Here goes.

Lights gone now. Too quiet—Run.

Big mistake: Eternal life. Bad wish.

Went exploring. Got lost; found everything.

The last word ever written—"Soon."

Alone. Out of ink: history lost.

Always tripped, usually fell, never stood.

Standing there—oblivious of deeper implications.

Too much crying, not enough bullets.

I met a child named Cancer.

Shaking, sweaty hands, shiny sword...CHARGE!

Finally; a sense of impending levitation.

Only a chance meeting. Changed everything.

I can't believe I am alive.

"Forget you," he said, "I'm dead."

I left, but I'm still here.

She's gone, and it's my fault.

Her chest moves steady, up...down...

She is happiness.  She is love.

We left, and forgot the children.

Getting cold warming up the engine.

Out buying lies, be home soon.

Brother ate the last homemade biscuit.

Went to work. Ate a banana.

I love these stories.  They say so much in just 6 words.  They're colorful and to the point.  No beating around the bush, just raw in your face communication of ideas.  And they force you to be creative and think outside the box. Because of the limitations,  you have to choose your words carefully.

Fingernails gone.  Shit. I must stop.

No more waste.  Time is valuable.
